CHAPTER 7: Operation
69
When an appropriate LU number is defined to this parameter, the assigned terminal user will be able to
operate their terminal and auxiliary attached printer with the LinkUp 5294 Auxiliary Printer facility,
allowing shared use of a single LinkUp 5294 asynchronous port.
NOTE
This parameter can be defined as overridable (+) or non-overridable (-).
12. Echoplex Enable
Valid values are: YES or NO.
If your application requires the LinkUp 5294 to echo characters and control codes back to your attached
ASCII devices, specify YES at this parameter. If this is not the requirement, as when using the COMPU
module, specify NO.
NOTE
This parameter can be defined as overridable (+) or non-overridable (-).
When the Packet Network Access parameter of the Asynchronous Port Configurator
Menu is defined as 1 or 2, then the Echoplex Enable parameter is superseded.
13. Echoplex Toggle Enable
Valid values are: NO or YES.
Specifying YES at this parameter enables the LinkUp 5294 to respond to the extended keyboard
function of TOGGLE ECHOPLEX ENABLED whenever you press it. This function allows you to
selectively toggle when you want the LinkUp 5294 to echo characters and control codes back to their
terminals.
NOTE
This parameter can be defined as overridable (+) or non-overridable (-).
When the Packet Network Access parameter of the Asynchronous Port Configurator
Menu is defined as 1 or 2, then the Echoplex Toggle Enable parameter is superseded.
14. Display Status Line Initially
Valid values are: YES or NO.
This controls whether or not the Status Line is displayed after initial connection to the host. The default
for this parameter is YES.
15. Character Set
Valid values are: US or MULTI.
US is the U.S. character translation currently available in versions of the LinkUp 5294 code before 1.15.
MULTI is a multinational character translation based on IBM Multinational EBCDIC character set and
an extended version of IBM Code Page 850 ASCII character set. The default value is US.
